HbA1c in Diabetes cover

Adapting to the IFCC system of reporting HbA1c poses a challenge to generations of health professionals who have learnt the percentage system related to the major clinical trials, in type 1 and type 2 diabetes, the DCCT and UKPDS. This handy paperback illuminates the transition path.

Using real-life case studies to illustrate actual clinical situations, the book shows you how to use mmol/mol units in daily practice. Each case study shows the old percentage units alongside the IFCC units for quick comparison. Produced in association with Diabetes UK, this pocketbook helps you work with confidence in the IFCC system.

“The book, on the one hand, by working from the basics, is an excellent educational tool for those developing experience in the field of diabetes and on the other, through its real-life illustrations, can also be beneficial to the more experienced in facilitating the transition to use of the IFCC units of reporting."  (Annals of Clinical Biochemistry, 1 September 2012)

“Using mainly case studies, this slim volume of 76 pages is an excellent aid to clinicians as they adjust to using the internationally recognised IFCC measurement which is replacing the current DCCT method of presenting HbA1c as a percentage of total Hb.” (Practical Diabetes International, July 2010<
